Bancroft Mill

1920 Textile Mill Cross-Compound Steam Engine with rope drive and weaving demonstrations on Lancashire Looms. Look out for 'Steaming Days' where the engine runs in steam. Stationary viewing every Saturday between 11.00am and 3.00pm with full interpretation of the engine house, boiler houses and the Lancashire textile industry.

The mill site is disabled friendly with ample parking and on steaming days we have delicious home made refreshments available, along with a range of original souvenirs and tea towels woven on our own loom.
